    I plan to start that day too! I am getting the DVDs this weekend.
    I just finished 30 day shred and need another workout. Does anyone have suggestions as to when to do the workout? (am or pm)

    Its a great combination to start Insanity after completing the 30 day shred honestly its going to be much easier with your endurance up. The best time to do Insanity is in the morning NOT at night trust me, your eating all day then you start HIIT and BAM all your food is suddenly piled up on the floor infront of you no joke. I DO NOT recommend eating something huge before Insanity, maybe a nutritional drink or something light like a banana, you WILL sweat, you WILL cry, you WILL collapse after your done.

    Its best to do it in the morning, have a BIG glass of milk afterwards preferably mixed with protein or a nutritional drink then shower. This is the routine I had for 60 days and it kept me going strong, also make sure your calculating your TDEE ( Total Daily Energy Expendure) into your daily calorie in take if you dont get enough nutrients Insanity will destroy you.

    Good luck!

    Just be very careful with your knees on those. There's a lot of impact work in there, so always take soft landings and don't push that particular part too far. Protect those knees, man!

    For me, I always like doing workouts (especially that one, where my heart rate got so high) in the morning. Then you shower, and are slightly amped for the rest of the day. It gets things going.

    Enjoy it, guys! I finished Insanity a monh ago and been doing another round but had to stop cuz my knees have been hurting. It is an incredible workout but so tough on the joints. I am starting a P90x/Insanity hybrid tomorrow. You can all add me!

    I'm starting Monday. Would love to lose 10 pounds and/or 3-4 inches off my stomach. I would really appreciate any advice and the MFP community staying on my back about keeping up with the workout schedule - I started once, did a week, then ran into some sched. conflicts and stopped - so add me!!
